My dogs name is Lilly, one of my favorite names and she came with the name! I also love the name Sophia but Teen Mom kind of ruined that for. I read Bentley is not one of the most popular names becasue of that show.

the Appledumpling Gang is and was one of my favorite movies, one of the kids is named Clovis. I think the names Apple and Seven and quite nice. I have told my boyfriend I want to name our kid Citizen. I feel like I have to pick something inventive becasue we both have different names.

I love the name Clovis! I really like names you recognize but don't hear all the time. My bofriends name is Spark. my name is Analeesha ( ana-lee-sha). I am soooo thankful my parents spelled it noramlly! I HHHHAAAATTEEE the names that are like Ashley that are spelled with all sorts of letters and numbers, it jsut makes ti…

bump, I love a good podcast

I am not sure if there is really a fix to this, but what it comes down to is it is all in your head. I has a terrible night snacker, but recently I have realized it is not worth it. The first few days it is hard but now it I make my dinner when I get home and don't eat after that. Sometimes I will have a protein shake…

protein shake or scrambled eggs with ham. My two favorite shakes are 1 cup almond milk, 1 scoop powder, and either a cup of froxen blueberries or a frozen orange that i cut up before freezing. When I do eggs I use 1 egg and 2 whites with half a serving of ham cut up and mixed in. Both options are high in protein.

You need to take a look at what you are eating. Going over protein is good thing, a lot of people adjust their ratios to 40% carbs, 30% fat, and 30% protein. Going over on sugar, what is it from, if it is from fruit it is not a bad thing. I would be a bit concerned if you are going over fat. Without looking at your diary…

I have a glass Taylor scale as well! I am never sure if it is me or the scale or the floor but i will get all sorts of numbers. I weigh every morning and tend to move it around a couple times to get a better idea. I looked on amazon as well and there didn't seem to be one that was any better

Polar FT4 adn FT7 are the most popular, do a search and you will find hundreds of threads on this same subject.

I am in. I would like to lose about 10 pounds. I have a lot to lose so I think this is dooable. I go back the first part of September but might be going on a trip in August so I have double motivation. So far I walk/run with the dog 5 days a week and try to bike on the weekends, my work outs usually last for an hour. I am…

what type of work are you doing?

Yes! I would have to stop while doing the 30DS becasue my feet hurt so bad, I tried to do barefoot but couldn't grip. It took a 100 bucks to solve my problem but I don't regret it.

The idea of the shoes is that you don't need support. They allow you feet to do what they do naturally. I bought a pair to use during work out videos becasue my arches would ache terribly. It has completely sovled that problem. I wore them to the gym once but got a bad blister and had to stop mid work out. Do a search on…

My initals are AK and I live in Alaska(AK)

I had a BLT for lunch yesterday and it was perfectly healthy. I used high fiber bread, light mayo, 3 slices of center cut bacon ( lower sodium) and some lettuce and tomato.

I would stay away from pasta really. Talk to your family but maybe you can all order a few dishes and share so you get to taste a sorts of new things but dont have to sit and eat the whole plate. All I can really say is don't go overboard, enjoy yourself but don't go crazy.

This is interesting. Over the last month I have refined my eating choices more so I am intested to see if they will have gone down by my next lab work. I would really like to avoid medicine if possible.

The amount they set peoples limit at is soooooo low. I shoot for about a 100 grams. I changed my ration to the 40/30/30 for carbs, fats, and proteins though. it really won't hurt you untill you get into 300 or more grams per day.

If you are looking for just fruit a will do 2 cups frozen mango with some water and a packet of sweenter to cut the tart. I do the same thing with frozen mixed berries. For protein shakes I do a scoop of protein, a cup of milk or almond milk and a cup of frozen fruit. Sometimes I put it in the freezer for a few minutes to…

This is a very common tattoo and what I plan to get once I have reached my goal. A Koi fish. here is a link explaining their menaing http://tattoos.lovetoknow.com/Koi_Fish_Tattoos

It is dark meat which means more fat, but it doesn't seem like they do to much to them but put them in a smoker. What are the calories for a similar amount of meat alone? Is the 16 oz with the bone?

I hade a BLT, 3 slices center cut bacon, lots of lettuce and tomato and a little bit of light mayo. I had mine on a high fiber english muffin but it works well in a wrap. Even though it is super hot outside I had a cup of soup as well. Nice and filling!

protein! go for some egg or tuna or some low cal soup. They will keep you fuller longer

I gained a lot of weight when I moved in with my boyfriend and his family. They never had family dinner and everything was microwave. We tended to go out to eat a lot as well. When it really came down to it I lost my routine. I was so use to how I did everything and it was really tough to be together all the time. We then…

http://eatthis.menshealth.com/slideshow/50-best-snack-foods-america?cm_mmc=Yahoo-_-ETNT-_-20_Habits_That_Make_You_Fat-_-50_Best_Snacks I just read this, has some good ideas. If you like salt, I would recomend tracking it. I LOVE it and had no idea how much I was eating. It will make you hold on to water like crazy!

I just bought some from Sams Club, Pure Protein Plus, it is low carb, high fiber and has omega-3. It is only sold at Sams according to the website. It was pretty cheap and I like it so far. The ingrident list is decently short compared to others I have seen,

You are right on track. Realistically you should loose 1-2 pounds a week. The faster it comes off the harder it is to maintain. Also, if you just started to work out it can be a shock for you body. Don't sweat it, you are doing great. You might also try to eat some of your exercise calories back.

I started June 1 and I have lost 12.

Low carb does not mean you can not eat any carbs, it just means you need to watch them. You might be surprised just how much you are eating. I have PCOS and eating low carb has been great. You can still have bread but i pick more wholesome choices or low carb wraps. Kroger makes a great yogurt that is low carb and it…
